Teen gymnast sensation Carlos Edriel Yulo of the Philippines has made history for the country. He grabbed the nation's first ever gold medal at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championship. A year after placing 3rd at the Floor Exercise discipline at the WAG, Yulo finally clinched the top spot and became the first ever Pinoy gymnast to win gold at the prestigious world stage.
He won by 0.01 points ahead of silver medallist Artem Dolgopyat of Israel, while China's Xiao Ruoteng claimed bronze in Stuttgart. The 19 year old is gaining momentum in time for the upcoming 30th SEA Games in the Philippines and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics wherein he will try to win the country's elusive first gold medal as well. Congratulations to Caloy!
